So I was making a walls map and I was wondering how to make the walls fall down like in the "The Walls" Server's on PC. I know it would include pistons with water behind them and when they are released they will knock down torches holding the sand. I'm just not sure how to set it up. Please help!
Just place the sand on top of the torches and attach the torches to blocks on sticky pistons. Retract the sticky pistons and the torches should break.
-OR-
Have pistons blocking water sources under the ground and when you flip a switch have it release the pistons which lets water flow over the torches and break them.
wouldnt the sand column just fall one block that way, surely you want the column to lad on a torch from a fall, could you not just have a torch then any block above it attached to a sticky piston(extended) the sand stacked on that and then have the piston retract and hey presto, of course i hope i just cant think of the other way because that could end up a lot of pistons
sticky piston with block holding all sand on top of it when retracted the sand falls o.O but that would be a big hole you would have to dig
Without digging a deep hole you could just have a sticky piston with a block attached a sign attached to the block and the sand stacked ontop of the sign, when the piston retracts the sign will pop off block under that would just be a torch on the wall. oh same goes for above just to have a torch on wall under where piston retracts

well without the use of more pistons you could use signs like in my 2nd method. But you must stack the signs off the main sign thats attached to the sticky pistons block. stack sign on sign after that when the piston retracts it will pop the sign off and every other sign connected to it
Have regular pistons holding up the sand (the extended part), then when the piston retract, the sand will fall.

Religion, has actually convinced people, that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of the day, and the invisible man has a special list. Of 10 things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do ANY of these ten things he has a special place, full of fire, and smoke, and burning, and torture, and will send you there to suffer and choke and scream for all of eternity... But he still loves you.
signs i tell you signs with torches underneath them instead of crap loads of pistons
Eh, either way, u use a lot of pistons, and it depends on how big his wall is. It doesn't matter really

It really depends on how big your wall is. pistons don't push forever

You are only pulling a block that has a sign on it, all the signs are connected to that sign so when the pistons retracts it pops the sign off the block and every other sign connected to that main sign. only 1 piston which is just used to pop the sign off. Sand will stack on sign so it falls when the signs popped off.. so your wall can be however long you want

You learn something new every day. I didn't know signs worked that way. I mean, I knew you could do that with them, but not that they'd all break together if one did. Amazing.
Yes but ideally you wouldnt want torches to break them you want to dig down a hole for the sand to drop into so that there wouldnt be a hole in the ground.

Have pistons blocking water sources under the ground and when you flip a switch have it release the pistons which lets water flow over the torches and break them.
The way I see it it's more likely the second one

Curse PremiumI see what you did thar. The torches would break the sand is it falls on them. Alot better than my crap-load-o-pistons idea.
